Description
Few musicians have ever reach the stature of Hermeto Pascoal. A true maestro and a cultural icon, he represents the highest level of musical evolution; as a multi-instrumentalist, as a composer and as an arranger.
Hermeto is a Brazilian legend. He has worked with the greatest of the greats, such as: Milton Nascimento, Tim Maia, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and countless others. He first gained public attention in 1971 after performing and recording with Miles Davis on the Live/Evil album, of which Miles said, “Hermeto is one of the most important musicians on the planet.” There is good reason (beyond his Gandalf-like appearance) why he is known as "O Bruxo" (the Wizard). Long before Miles, he was performing and collabing with the likes of Edu Lobo and Elis Regina. Later collaborations involved fellow Brazilian musicians Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. From the late 1970s onward, he has mostly led his own groups, playing at many prestigious venues, such as the Montruex Jazz Festival in 1979.
Pascoal often makes music with unconventional objects such as teapots, children's toys, and animals, as well as keyboards, button accordions, melodica, saxophones, guitars, flutes, voices, various brass and folkloric instruments. He uses nature as a basis for his compositions, as in his Música da Lagoa, in which the musicians burble water and play flutes while immersed in a lagoon: a Brazilian television broadcast from 1999 showed him soloing at one point by singing into a cup with his mouth partially submerged in water. Folk music from rural Brazil is another important influence in his work.
Angel Bat Dawid and Oui Ennui are DAOUI.
4600 (=1) year(s) ago in the future, the Daoui emerged from the inner surface of the plasmic hōmstarh Fane Won, sister to Criola (265d). They were drawn out by distress calls from the Afrikan diaspora.
Their dimension exists inside ours and outside their own. There, the "laws" of physics as we know them are nothing more than suggestions. Their cosmologies are discrete. For example, hōmstarhs such as Fane Won square-orbit a planet which is not populated. The proximity to the planet determines not how warm the planet is, but how cool the starhs are, as the planet, xux, absorbs ambient heat from blackshine. Each planet has only one (Won) starh. Galaxies are arranged like vertices in a tesseract. The bonds between each vertex in the octahedroid are song.
• This • That • Is • Not •
The Daoui are individuals, fiercely so, but have no concept of self. Their individuality is based upon their capacity to serve others. Each individual is “Sha”. The closest translation is family. Every individual is family. Thusly the group CANNOT act outside of its own interests or those of the greater good. Each and every Sha is very necessary. There is no hierarchy; they’re not hierarchical. They have a saying, “what is an eye with no lid?” The collective is also known as Sha, Sha-Fane, Sha-Won, or DAOUI.
